Supply Nation’s national role in Australia’s business landscape

Supply Nation works to connect our database of 1798 verified Indigenous businesses with our 413 paid corporate, government and not-for-profit members in every state and territory. Supplier diversity is a growing movement in Australia as we work to create a more inclusive economy.

More than “Corporate Social Responsibility”

For every $1 of revenue, Certified Suppliers generate $4.41 of social return.
That means your dollar is working 4 times harder when you spend with Indigenous businesses.

Indigenous businesses are more likely to employ other Indigenous people

Indigenous employment is a key indicator of strong economic development so procuring from Indigenous businesses means you’re investing in sustainable communities.

Indigenous businesses are growing at 12.5% per annum!

Indigenous people make up around 3% of the population but only own around 0.06% of Australia’s businesses.
Imagine the impact on the Australian economy if Indigenous businesses were proportionally represented in the business landscape?

Indigenous people have been running enterprises for thousands of years

There are even archaeological records of a 6,500 year old business - aqua-culture eel traps at Budj Bim in Victoria. (For comparison Stone Henge is only 5,000 years old; the Pyramids at Giza only 4,500 years old). Running businesses is not new to Australia’s First Peoples.
